Click. Click.

This is nothing like the brochure.

Click, click.

I play with it while thoughts are frantic and my soul is split.

Its heavy but comfortably hurts; my conscience is thick.

I remember other times just like this.

Click, click.

The metal gets heavier and I am sick.

Click and slower, deliberate click.

Is this the one?

Is this it?

Coward.

Stop playing with it.

Click.
